Despite my undying man-crush for Fedor Emelianenko illustrated by the fact that I've followed the guy across the planet for the past two years just to see him fight, it would be a complete slap in the face and poke in the eye to the Strikeforce light heavyweight division if Fedor Emelianenko gets a title shot against Dan Henderson after coming off two consecutive losses. Strikeforce's 205 lb division is infused with a plethora of light heavyweight match-ups for Dan Henderson to feast off for the next three years, including guys like Roger Gracie, King Mo, Mike Kyle, Gegard Mousasi -- and all of them are in EA Sports MMA, aside from Mike Kyle. Bummer. We got in touch with Eric Nicholl from M-1 Global to see if Fedor Emelianenko is truly considering dropping down to light heavyweight in order to bang against Dan Henderson and it appears M-1 Global believes it's all nonsense.

"At this time it is all rumor with no truth. It's not anything M-1 has considered at all. Should it be decided that Fedor would consider dropping to 205, M-1 would make an official announcement."

We were all trolled by some website I simply cannot remember at the moment, partially because there's a roach crawling on my wall that needs to meet a chemical death before it makes anymore progression in my place. Folks, Fedor Emelianenko has been fighting at the same weight since Bill Clinton was president. I would think it would be a complete impossibility for his body to even drop thirty-pounds without severing a leg -- or a lap band surgery.

Thats too bad...this would have been a great fight and would have given fedor a chance to get back to his winning ways. He is just to small of a heavy weight to take on the top guys in the division (and no grim and AA is not at the top of the division).

All he needs to do is have that baby and the weight will drop right off, making it easy to make 205

They should start having weigh ins the day of so all these damn american wrestlers who have been cutting weight their whole lives aren't fighting 20 pounds above their weight class.

Glad fedor fights where he's at.

M-1 is awesome sick card the other night. don't know why people hate on em I suppose because they havd DWs balls in their mouth.

If you don't have any pets in the house, take a bottle cap and put some peanut butter in it. Lace the peanut butter with your liquid chemical poison of choice, and leave it in a spot where roaches are known to roam. They will come over, thinking its a nice little feast, and then their insides will melt.

Fuck 'em.

The Hendo fight makes no sense to me. You don't abandon a division because your longest undefeated streak in MMA ends. On the basis every one wants this fight every one in HW except the person that wins the tournament should drop to 205.

What happens if Werdum loses to Overeem and then Fedor beats Werdum in a rematch? Should he still drop down? He was out sized by Bigfoot but he wasn't out sized by Werdum. Every one is going all knee jerk again.

Yes, but the Landscape of Heavyweights has drastically changed in the last few years. It may make sense for him to drop the weight. but can he? maybe if he tries that peanut butter & chemical concoction that methodman speaks of, he can make the weight.

Lol an yet fucki Cagepotato an Fighters Only are still tryin to say he's gonna or htinking of moving down Permanetly
http://www.cagepotato.com/fedor-considering-permanent-move-down-to-light-heavyweight-may-challenge-hendo/
Gotta love how the bullshit rumours start. Really, Really would have a hard time believeing after a Decade of competing as a HW at the HIGHEST LEVELS, and succeeding the way he has, would drop down too 205, Just dont see it.
However, I do think that after his last couple losses, and seeing the pics of him and other 205'rs, Arlovski should really consider dropping down. He weighed in at what 238/240 last time? Bones looked to dwarf him
